How many seats in the US Senate?
There are one hundred senators, two from each state in the union. If you include the President of the Senate, who is not an elected senator but who is the sitting vice president of the US, you could say there are 101 seats. The President of the Senate can break a tie vote.
How many presidents were sitting US Senators at the time of their election?
I think Obama was the only one to resign a senate seat to be president. Harding was in the senate during the campaign of 1920, but his term expired the same day as he took office as president. Truman has to resign a senate seat to become vice-president.The following were U.S. Senators at the time of their election to the U.S. Presidency:Warren G. Harding (1920)John F. Kennedy (1960)Barack Obama (2008)
How many electoral votes do you have to win to become president?
270 votes from the electoral college are required to become president.
How many presidents served as secretary of state after being president?
No ex-president has later become a Secretary of State- six have moved up from Secretary of State to president, however.
How many years can the President serve Why is there a limit to how many terms a person can be President?
The president can serve up to eight years, which is two terms. A term is four years. A limit has been set, so our government will not become a dictatorship.
